I read _Rich Dad, Poor Dad_, and my opinion is similar to Trent's and John T. Reed's. Kiyosaki strikes me as a huckster who makes his money from selling his platitudes, not from doing what he claims others can do. It's very similar to how many of the wealthiest Amway distributors made their money--from selling "tools" to their downlines, rather than through the Amway business.

Gagan, your blog points to this letter from Kiyosaki in response to Reed. That letter doesn't really respond to any of the specific criticisms Reed makes--for example, it doesn't respond to Reed's point about Kiyosaki's false tax claims, or that "rich dad" is a fictional character.
